Chapter 582 Capture Yan'an

After Yan'an fell into the hands of the Qing army, it did not assume a huge military role, so the Qing army did not store any materials in Yan'an.

There were no artillery in the city, and the main defense tools of the Qing army were bows and arrows, rolling stones and wood.

The soldiers of the Shun army who attacked the city had very few weapons, no heavy artillery, and it was almost a duel with cold weapons.

When the soldiers of the Shun Army rushed [-] steps below the city, the casualties began to increase. The Qing army at the top of the city opened their bows and set up arrows, and the dense rain of arrows shot down the city. fall.

Arrows from the top of the city were like rain, shooting overwhelmingly at the rushing Shun army, and the arrows shot on the shield, making the sound of "dodoo".

At this time, the archers of the Shun army stopped thirty steps away from the city wall, stood on the frozen moat, pulled their bows and arrows into circles, and the arrows shot towards the city head like locusts. Many Qing soldiers were hit by arrows and screamed. fell to the ground.

For a moment, arrows intertwined above and below the city.The archers of the Shun army are several times that of the Qing army, but they cannot aim and shoot. They can only point the arrows obliquely and throw them overwhelmingly. They rely on luck and the concentration of arrows to shoot and kill the Qing army. The hit rate is not high. There are few, but they hide behind the city wall and shoot arrows directly from the perforations, with a high hit rate.

In this way, the numerical advantage of Shunjun's archers was offset by a large part, and it was impossible to completely suppress the city.

When shooting arrows, the soldiers of the Shun army who rushed to the dead corner of the city climbed up the ladder one after another. The Qing army smashed down the rolling stones and trees, and the Shun army went up with their shields to attack, but many soldiers were still thrown down.

For a moment, the soldiers were bloody from being smashed, drenched in gold juice and fell down the ladder screaming.

Li Guo watched the battlefield, saw that one group of soldiers was dead and wounded, and another group of soldiers quickly attacked, he couldn't help pacing back and forth holding his saber.

"Father, the brothers suffered heavy casualties. Should we retreat and regroup before attacking again?" Li Laiheng couldn't help but asked.

"No! To beat the drums to urge the general to fight, you must attack the top of the city with all your strength!" Li Guo stopped, glanced at the big banner, and suddenly waved his hand to call to the guards behind him, "Follow the general!"

Li Laiheng hurriedly grabbed Li Guo, and in a hurry, he shouted, "Father, you are the master, you can't take risks, leave it to your son!"

Li Guo glanced at Li Laiheng, stopped in his tracks, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, this battle is related to this general's face, and also related to our status in the Wei army. For the sake of the future of the [-] brothers, you must go to the top of the city." !"

"Father, don't worry!" Li Laiheng solemnly clasped his fists.

Li Guo patted him on the shoulder, and Li Laiheng immediately roared, "Go! Come with me!"

Seeing this, Li Guo roared, "Beat the drum!"

The rumbling drums were beating, and the drums of "dong dong dong" urged the soldiers of the Shun army to rush towards the top of the city.

Li Laiheng held an iron gun in one hand and a shield in the other. He was tall and majestic charging forward, followed by hundreds of elite soldiers behind him.

Under the banner of the big flag, Gao Yihuan saw Li Laiheng leading a group of armored soldiers and rushing towards the city with arrows, so he couldn't help but focus on him.

Most of the soldiers in the Shun Army were dressed in tatters and looked like local bandits. Suddenly a group of armored soldiers came over, which immediately attracted Meng Qiaofang's attention, and immediately pointed at them with a knife, "Shoot the arrows and stop them!"

The Qing army on the city immediately stood up and shot a wave of arrows at the soldiers, but Li Laiheng fired his big gun and continued to charge forward.

"Cover General Li!" Among the archers, General Shun Dang Shousu pointed his sword.

The archers of the Shun army under the city immediately bent their bows and set up arrows, shooting waves of arrows onto the top of the city.

A section of the city wall in front of Li Laiheng was shot by arrows from below the city. The arrows fell like rain, and the archers at the top of the city could only fight back from the perforations. fall.

Several Qing troops hurriedly used shields to protect Meng Qiaofang, and at this moment, a ladder climbed up the city wall, and Li Laiheng immediately stepped up.

The Qing army hiding behind the wall immediately shot arrows at the Shun army on the ladder, trying to prevent the Shun army from going to the city.

The cloud ladder is different from the simple city-climbing ladder. The climbing ladder is built under the wall. The angle between the ladder and the city wall is only about 45 degrees, and it is almost close to the city wall. The car was built on the city wall at an angle, and the ladder was wider and stronger than the climbing ladder, and it was basically impossible to overturn it. However, because the inclination was around [-] degrees, there was no dead angle under the wall, so bows and arrows could be shot.

A few arrows came, Li Laiheng blocked it with a shield filled with arrows, the soldiers behind him couldn't dodge it, and many of them rolled down the ladder.

"Kill!" At this moment, Li Laiheng suddenly smashed his shield towards the top of the wall, hitting a Qing soldier, then roared suddenly, and jumped up to the top of the wall.

At this time, the archers of the Shun army under the city were no longer suppressing the top of the city. As soon as the pressure on the Qing army at the top of the city was relieved, a tall figure was seen sweeping towards it like a strong wind.

Li Laiheng stabbed with the iron spear, and the cold light was dotted, and the blood mist immediately filled the air. The two Qing soldiers who rushed forward were directly pierced through the chest by the iron spear.

A Qing general saw this, his eyes turned red instantly, he raised his knife to kill him, Li Laiheng stabbed with an iron spear, Qing Jiang's body suddenly stopped, the point of the spear pierced through his chest, and came out from his back.

The Qing army, who was about to encircle them, paused, but Li Laiheng and the armored soldiers who boarded the city behind rushed to kill him. He stabbed repeatedly with a big gun, and in a short while, the top of the city fell to the ground with corpses.

Seeing this, Meng Qiaofang's eyes were red, and she wanted to rush forward, but hesitated.

After all, people in their 50s are not as young as they were when they were younger. Besides, as the governor, he is already in a high position, so there is no need to work hard himself.

When Meng Qiaofang's face was flushed, Li Laiheng swung his gun and threw a corpse of a Qing soldier into the city. He glanced at Meng Qiaofang, and shot him immediately.

"Governor, go quickly, if you don't go, it will be too late!"

More than a dozen red armored soldiers suddenly surrounded Meng Qiaofang and headed down the city. Meng Qiaofang yelled curses and struggled twice symbolically.

Li Laiheng came over and was entangled by Han soldiers embroidered with red flags. He killed several people in a row, and when he went to observe again, Meng Qiaofang was nowhere to be seen.

He scanned the top of the city with a big gun, and when he saw a triangular yellow dragon flag, he pointed at it immediately, "Throw down the Tartar flag, and plant the general's flag!"

Under the banner of the big banner, Gao Yihuan saw the provocative Qing army flag being thrown down from the top of the wall. He couldn't help putting down his binoculars and nodded slightly.

The Shun army attacked three sides and left one side unattacked, in order to reduce the Qing army's will to resist.

When Meng Qiaofang fled to the east gate, there was a loud noise in the city, and the Shun army had already entered the city.

At this moment, the east gate slowly opened. Meng Qiaofang glanced back, sighed, and rushed out of the city surrounded by dozens of cavalry.

On a hill in the distance, Huang Bingzhong saw Meng Qiaofang running out of the city, couldn't help smiling, and waved his hand to lead the people down the hill.

At this time, the city gate of Yan'an had been opened, and the Shun army of the brigade poured into the city.

Under the flag, Li Yan suddenly said to Gao Yihuan: "Your Majesty, if you catch Meng Qiaofang, I suggest you keep him. Your Majesty can use him to establish a channel of communication with the Manchus!"
